team building days

Eco friendly team fun


Team building days are an essential investment for businesses. They offer an opportunity for employees to connect, engage, and work collaboratively towards a common goal.

Why invest in team away days?

Team building days provide a much-needed break from the routine of work, giving employees a chance to relax and enjoy each other’s company in a non-work environment. This break helps to boost staff morale, leading to increased job satisfaction, which, in turn, can improve employee retention rates.

In addition to these benefits, investing in an environmental team away day taking action for rivers can provide a unique opportunity for businesses to make a positive impact on the environment while boosting staff morale, productivity, and wellbeing.

When staff morale is high, productivity levels increase. The team building day can help break down communication barriers, build trust and establish stronger relationships between colleagues. This can help employees collaborate more effectively, leading to better problem-solving and decision-making, and ultimately higher productivity.

Team building days can help promote employee wellbeing by providing an opportunity for employees to engage in activities that promote physical and mental health. It can also help reduce stress levels, which can lead to improved work-life balance.

“I can’t believe how many trees we managed to plant between us- over 1,100 Richard reckoned! It was great to be able to see the results of our efforts at the end of the day, which we know in 5 years will be an area of maturing trees!”

What do team away days involve?

An environmental team away day can involve activities such as cleaning up rivers and waterways, planting trees, or building habitats for wildlife. By engaging in such activities, employees can feel a sense of purpose and pride in their work, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and motivation. Additionally, it can help build a sense of teamwork and collaboration, which can be applied back in the workplace.

Furthermore, companies that invest in environmental team away days can improve their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental sustainability credentials. This can enhance their reputation and brand image, leading to increased customer loyalty and sales.

Team building days are essential for businesses as they can improve staff morale, productivity, and wellbeing. Investing in an environmental team away day taking action for rivers can provide additional benefits such as promoting environmental sustainability, enhancing brand image, and boosting staff motivation and teamwork. Therefore, businesses should consider investing in such events as a valuable investment in their employees and the environment.
